  • Installing coving in an old house with uneven walls and ceilings is not as easy as some DIY videos might have you. In this video I show you how to bypass come of the problems that come up when installing coving on uneven surfaces.

    Great video. Really helped me out! Can I ask, did you join the straight pieces with butt joints or go to the effort of cutting the ends to 45 deg?

      Great question. I had two joins and I actually used one of each type. Where the wall was straighter around the join I was able to join two 45s with minimal gaps. However one wall was quite curved where the join was so I went for a straight butt. There was still some filling to be done but much less than if I had used a mitred join

    You are my hero! Thank you so much! I wasted an entire day following others instructions and the corners would never fit! I can’t wait to try this tomorrow!

    There is some real sass here. I like it. You sound like you were done with how unusual this room is! Haha.

    Thanks this helped out a novice a lot! I have the same type of saw and was wondering how the cuts would work when it tilts to one side only.
    I owe you a beer. Cheers!👍🍺

    I believe I have the exact same coving to put up, please god let it be the same and I've found the exact video I've been scouring the Internet for... is this coving from a brand called Noel & Marquet? It looks exactly the same as the one I'm supposed to be putting up but I can't get the internal mitres right. Going to use this method in hopes that it works

    There is a technique where you dont need to cut mitres you just slot the corners together dont know what its called though

    Hello buddy, I think the crown came out very well, but I did hear from few carpenters that the more decorated edge, or your ceiling edge, should be the wall edge actually, so they'd say its upside down, Now..I'm also wondering does it even matter?

    • @melvunderground3693
      @melvunderground3693  3 роки тому +1

      Yeah I think I did it the opposite way round to the manufacturer's instructions but the right way round for Mrs Underground's instructions. I know whose wrath I'd rather avoid!

    Would've been easier to see if you put the white molding on a colored wall,

    You seem to have the coving the wrong way around ! Less decorated edge should be on the ceiling.

    You have a mixed American and British accent. Very strange.

      Worst thing about this video, It sounds like a Brit trying to be American and it's making the video unwatchable.
